i have had this washes over painted on details too....thats a reall bugger...

i am not entirely sold on the whole posh stock thing...but after all your mini your vision...if i may have my little say i´d just drill out the stock from the side and let it look that way as a mesh stock a bit like the one from a HK UMP




then the metal one of the first isntalment would look really good...i wouldn´t over posh antal even if he is not the hero type but just a mere noble food stealer^^ then at least he could earn his mens respect by not only prancin`around in fancy armor...and i lol´ed when i read wanderlust...very romantic ^^(i mean literature romanism...)

good night fella, see you tomorrow, vik

Oooh i like that idea. might give that a bash with my new pin vice drill, thanks , as for Antal , he must be on his Grande Tour, Christmas tree next l.

I thought he was just surveying his land 'Them foreign buggers have made my fields all muddy, how am I going to have a polo match now?'

Think the eyes came out OK, he just didn't get a chance to apply guy-liner to the other eye before the shelling started.

lol^^

Oh dont be starting any Monkey business about Antals Gender He is one hundred % Alpha Male, just because he wears new romantic Adam and the Ants style get ups doesnt mean he is any less a man and that quick fumble with his cousin when he was 14 , was just "Confusion" besides he likes ( Guyliner TM ) brings out his cobalt blue eyes...well thats what " Heirs and Hair magazine says in this months 40k and the Enlightened Man section , anyway.

LMAO...man that hurt...quite good^^

Hey, I wasn't casting any aspersions on his manliness And as to the cousin thing, he's of noble blood, he's genetically disposed to 'fumbling' with his kin

Haha. No I'm sure he is all man... He certainly has an enormous gun

But does he know how to use it properly

do you really ask about it shooting to quick or what?
last i heard there are ointments for that...oh god there are seemingly no boundaries on how far you can push a methaphor...

vik

by the way, we have survived the santas visit and without any major crashes and still went to church...its always nice to see so manyx young people starving for attention and nevertheless being such unpleasent singers...well if i had to actually pay them for that i would probably want my money back...

very nicely painted!

@ Manoknok Will we be seeing more Napoleonics from your stable anytime soon mate?

Hello everybody , Hope you all had a great xmas and New year, i have finally managed to shrug off the winter lethargy with a healthy dose of that 386 billion billion megawatts.per second ball of gaseous orange stuff in the sky ( and no that is not my behind before anyone asks ) So i have been working on Antals New Model Army yesterday and got a bit done I finally have the whole gang based and primed ( Yay ) I made a new heavy weapons team ..lascannon and have started painting the Newly converted Noble Long Rifles Into Regular Noble Rifles. I have had some concern over the tau weapons and didnt have enough lasguns at hand so i decided to use the normal perry arms and be done with it! i have finally decided the colour scheme for the army , blue and white and red for the infantry green , cream and gold for the noble rifle men and blue and white for the cavelry, red and white for the heavy weapons teams all troops with red shakos
I also threw in a few pics of some stuff i picked up on ebay before crimbo, cadian heads, medics and wounded , and It was logan and Rohans Birthday on the 20th and they recieved a cadian heavy weapons team boxset and a catachan one from thier Uncle ....explains why i made a new heavy weapons team I didnt realise how much stuff you got in those boxsets , I have included a pic of there work so far,and a when i picked up the oldschool imperial army guys i found a nice little conversion as well , so thats it for now, i am still working on the comic its a slow burn and the manufactorum neeed to learn about electrics , and have a great idea for my next project , but for now i am happy painting these wonderfull Perry miniatures,( I recieved a Bernard Cornwell book for christmas ..Rhe Fort and i bought myself the Sharp boxset , so i have plenty of inspiration. oh yeah i posted a pic earlier of Kaiser Wilhelm and he had a great skull and cross bones hat, Well for those that didnt know , like me , it turns out that that hat was from a cavelry regiment called the Hussard de la Mort http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussards_de_la_Mort

i mention it becuase i picked up a couple of vostroyan models and i think the generals hat is a perfect match http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1251734_99110105201_IGVostroyanCmdsqdmain_873x627.jpg

man thats so cool, seeing your stuff freshly up here again...
seeing your pics and now with the true perry guns and all i think it all will look tremendously cool. i will look so much forward to all these minis getting a great paintjob from your hands.
nice presents for you...er ... logan and rohan^^ that is...
thanks for your reearch link of the hussards de la morte...they lok really cool, but whats to be expected of soldiers clad in black and with skulls to their shakos??
and yer bang to rights with the vostroyan officer loking very much the part...
for my part i am not so sure with the red helmets on the heavy troopers but i bet you have some research pics for references as i think you saw something to do that...the noble and the green and cream will look great and also your scheme for the cavalry will look really good. for my self i am very itchy to paint agian too... the ranks on my shleves have greatly increased due to a lack of composure at ebay ...all on my evergrowing sins..

and finally if thats wahts in store for us to see, then may the sun shine for all eternity on your desk^^

vik

Hey Vik Glad to see your still trolling the Forums and not FLying skywards to pastures new with your Beautyfull yet functional Airship....Whats that ...Its not finished yet ... bah !! There is a war on you know , we need those airships asap!

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement , I also think that the perry minis look better with their own weapons , although i like the heavy weapon teams as well , i guess this army was always going to be a bit of an experiment , and i am happy that i tried the 40k weapons but not too sad to see them go , as i can play a few skirmish games of blackpowder now that i am brushing up on my Napoleonic history as i said erlier i think the sci fi look can be achieved by the environment as much as the guns, just need some nice tanks now , got my eye on the fantastic Tadpole tank




or something like this
Custom build i think though
As for the Heavy weapons guys, i didnt realise shako meant the whole hat i thought it was just the pom pom part so your right about that sorry only the pom pom will be red

qoute "for my self i am very itchy to paint agian too... the ranks on my shleves have greatly increased due to a lack of composure at ebay ...all on my evergrowing sins.. "

Paint Paint Paint Paint!

Blessed be the Sun God and all its derivitives http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/solar.htm

you could always say that part of the army is still equipped with rifles and muskets because modernisation is slow - I remember there were rules for muskets and rifles in the old 2nd edition and even though they are inaccurate compared to a lasgun the massed ranks would still blow a few holes in an enemy. It would be fun to play with those old rules and see if ranks of muskets could see off greenskins

well hte muskets bullets surley are a caliber to be reckoned with, but they lack the piercing quality needed...all those thick hides would bounce the bullets off...

so red pompoms? that would be a real good treat...
and the tadpole will be a great thing to add and although it is a style mixture it is a really good one and will blend together real well...
your sun god links...well if someone ever wanted to make an "emperors sons´s army these would provide an extra large amont of names to use...

about the airship...always pleasing how your able to put your finger where its doing the most hurt^^ yep the airship is indeed needed asap but i took a short (hopefully) leave of absent in the building hall and went on to paint some minis so to better understand for whom i built it in the first place...

cheers for a force of raging chevaliers (thats french for knights...)...

vik

Enjoyed the images alot here are some of my selected impressions.


'They shot you where?!' Feel sorry for this medic.


'Just a flesh wound, nothing serious'


[German Accent] 'This may sting a little'

I like the colour scheme as well.

for crude german accent always say something like:
vot izz der problem? can i help you viz somthink?...ah here comes ze spritzn and zis vont hurt a bit...."

@Perkustin Lol thanks matey , are you still writing in the dakka fictionsection i havent checked it out for a while , any more of your great and engaging Story ...?
@Vik rofl too funny

we have to stay stronk! we are heros for ze mighty emperor ant vont yielt! halt hiergebleiben, nicht weglaufen!

I remember ex coach of the German Football team Jurgen Klinsmann saying during Euro 2008; 'God! Ze Germans are strong!'. It's a bit of a catchphrase amongst my brothers and i.

Paint for the paint god!

jep that klinsmann....pesonally i am not into football, capital offence right there for a german...

By the look on that troopers face And the position of the Doc I have a good idea where he is gonna stick that needle!

ooo Matron!

Assalaamu alaykum
@ Weety , Thanks thats a great idea , i have the 2nd ed around the house somewhere , infact thats the only version i have at the moment except for that coaster in black reach.
@SilverMk2 Red gore! or blood red
hey guys need some help with colours i Cant decide weather to go for , any sugesstions?

O prefer the one on the left.

i say the right one, but i would opt then for a matching feather in white too and i would expect brass/gold nobs on the unifom then ....
they will look really great^^

vik

@Perkustin
@Vik
Well i went for the left one thanks guys , i was tempted to do the white chest but i figured the young Antal figure will be all cream, gold and white but i did go with the suggestion for the white pompon it looks very regal for these young Nobles , not quite finished yet these are just base colours but i will be adding depth ,and highlights. If anyone has any suggestions for detailing iam all ears

Lookin good Neil! I think the color choice is perfect. I am excited to see them all painted!

credit where credits due they do look really posh and quite good^^
i would suggest doing brass nobs on their chests, for now all i can think up...^^
